I do still have hundreds of unpainted High Elves. I barely need to buy anything - maybe a Phoenix or 2. For me it's more a question of steering clear of the army whilst the tempest of excitement in the community of still going strong. Once things settle down and people move on, *then* maybe I can get excited about using them myself...<br /><br />Sitting back and ignoring all the shiny new stuff that I already have at my disposal is a different challenge.Hoodlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507134198601519253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-3696669046365548572013-05-10T04:37:32.590-07:002013-05-10T04:37:32.590-07:00I had a decent sized pool of HE models on sprues r...I had a decent sized pool of HE models on sprues ready to begin assembly about two months ago and realized I needed to not have them. Skaven, Lizardmen, Bretonnians, Ogre Kingdoms, and Vampire Counts really should be sufficient for my warhammer needs eh? But it is tempting because the new models are so cool and the new books are always so nice! <br /><br />Be strong though brother!adeptgamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132367534994617729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-36527409074658137602013-05-08T00:27:21.536-07:002013-05-08T00:27:21.536-07:00Bandwagons? Jumping? What are these alien concepts...Bandwagons? Jumping? What are these alien concepts of which you speak? I never go with the popular army (except in Saga where I play Vikings, but that's only because I didn't know they were the popular army at the time!), and will happily spend hours converting totally useless units. Because they look cool.

Empire went back in the box and haven’t seen the light of day since.<br />Everyone seemed to be really down on the Daemons when the book came out so I’ve started painting up a force, sadly after a few tournaments people seem to have realised they’re not total rubbish, so they’ll probably creep up in numbers again. So I might be forced to flip back to Dark Elves which have massively fallen from favour.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082733549167473245noreply@blogger.com
